The Navajo Churro is the oldest domesticated farm animal in the U.S. -- the breed was nearly extinct by the 1970s, with numbers down to a mere 600. Since then, farmers dedicated to saving the breed have been raising these beautiful, scrappy little sheep for their wool and meat, which has been described as mild, wild, and aromatic.

Zeitouni's menu, based in the Mediterranean, looks scrumptious; it includes a Mezze platter, Quinoa Pilaf with Dried Apricot, Cherries and Fresh Parsley, Short Grain Brown Rice with Roasted pepper and almond Nuts, Garbanzo Bean Stew, Turkish Lamb Curry, Fennel Dusted Roasted Lamb Loin, and other slow-food themed dishes and desserts. The reception starts at 6:30 with an invitation for a pre-dinner sunset swim and spa from 4 to 6 p.m. Tickets are $45 per person.
